What a fun time we had!The race had 1050 teams this year and so parts of it were really crowded
but other than that I think Ragnar put on a great race.
It all started Thursday at 6:30 am.I wanted to go to the temple with my son so I
knew I had to have everything ready to go by 6:00pm.I first went out for a six mile run.My right foot was giving me problems so I
called it quits at 2.5 miles.I then
cleaned the car, cleaned my house, bought groceries, decorated the van, met my
son at the distribution center to buy him Garments, and went to the
temple.As you can see I didn’t have
time to eat so at 9:00 when I got home I ate some fruit and went to bed.
We woke up at 4:00am packed up the car and headed to
Logan.Kim had been sick all week and
she was not getting better.She had a
killer cough that was giving her fits.She was running leg three and at the end of her first leg she was sure
that she couldn’t do her very hard last leg (8 miles up hill)so we traded legs for that round.This would give me a 7 mile trail leg, an 8
mile uphill leg followed by another 8 mile uphill leg.Knowing this early in the race gave me enough
time to wrap my brain around it, so it really was not that big of a deal.
My first leg started around 2:00 I was hoping to do it in 59
minutes but I came in closer to 62 minutes.I started to feel weak right from the start and then realize I had
hardly eaten anything for the past 48 hours.This leg has two uphill miles followed by two downhill miles and
finishes with three rolling hill miles.
Splits: 9:43, 9:36, 8:52, 8:38, 8:29, 9:11, 8:55
My next leg started at 10:30 and is 8 miles mostly up
hill.I love this leg I am not sure why
the uphill seems so easy but it did.I
had 26 road kills on this leg.I met up with
a young guy from Kaysville; we ran the last 4 miles together.At one point it got really windy.He let me draft of him and when I went to
take my turn in the lead he said I was too skinny!I could have kissed him!
